How to permanently delete your Cash App account and unlink it from your bank (2024)

• You can delete your Cash App account from the Account Settings page on an iPhone, iPad, or Android.
• Before you delete your account, make sure to transfer any remaining funds to your bank account.
• You should permanently delete your Cash App account before you delete the app on your device.

Cash App is useful for transferring money easily to friends, family, or other contacts directly from your phone, similar to Venmo.

However, since Cash App is linked to your bank account, if you want to delete it — whether because you found another app you like better, or because you don't use it anymore — you can't simply delete it from your home screen like a regular app.

To get rid of Cash App, you need to permanently delete your account before you delete the app itself. Here's how to delete your Cash App account on iPhone, iPad, or Android.

How to delete your Cash App account

1. Open Cash App on your iOS or Android device. The app icon is green with a white dollar sign.

2. If you have any money in your account, be sure to transfer it to your bank before you continue. Do this by tapping the Banking icon (which looks like a house, or a bank) in the bottom-left corner, then tapping Cash Out. If you have any stocks or bitcoin, you need to sell them off before you can close your account.

3. Tap the account icon (which looks like a silhouette of a person in a circle) in the upper-right corner.

4. Tap Support.

5. At the bottom of the next screen, tap Something Else.

6. On the next page, scroll to the bottom and select Account Settings.

7. In the Account Settings menu, scroll to the option labeled Close my Cash App Account, toward the bottom of the list.

8. Tap Confirm. This will sign you out of the Cash App. A text or email confirmation will be sent to you confirming that you've unlinked your account. Make sure you get this email before you delete the app.

9. You can now delete Cash App from your device. Return to your home screen and follow the steps to delete an app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android.
